Congratulations! After pimping you out of your hard earn money for a year, the government has given you back $2000 on your tax return!  As a hardworking former NEET (Not Employed, in Education, or in Training), you deserve to treat yourself with that pathetic amount of money. So, what are you going to do with that $2000?  You gonna blow it on a big tiddy Hotaru Shidare mouse pad?  You really gonna drop $500 on a catgirl Yumeko Jabami figurine that will only collect dust over time?  You thinking that wasting $50 on a fake Supreme shirt with a half-naked Sailor Venus sippin’ on lean and a lit blunt in her hand while Sailor Mars snorts cocaine off Venus’s ass gonna make you look like your rich?  Boy, are you stupid?   Don’t use your income tax money to stunt like you’re Jo’on off Touhou 15.5 for a week. Especially if your bank account says you’re living like Shion for the rest of the 51 weeks of the year.

Use that income tax money to invest in yourself.  Income tax money should be viewed as an opportunity to expand your otaku empire. You want to be a content creator on social media? Good.  Then use the money to buy a high quality camera.  Spend it on audio tools such as pre-amps, condenser microphones, pre-amps, and studio headphones (especially if you’re going the podcast route).  Your income tax money should fund and fuel your passion (may it be becoming an anime vlogger, having your own show, etc.) Putting income tax money towards on a Megumin wall scroll isn’t an investment.  It’s stupid (unless you’re doing it for you YouTube channel then go ahead).

Are you tired of going to same, small to mid-size conventions in your hometown each year?  You never been to Los Angeles before and want to go to Anime Expo?  Perhaps  you’re interested Otakon in Washigton, D.C. and wanna hit it up. Perfect.  Use the money to travel to those cites and hit up those conventions. Leave your hometown for once.   If you’re a vlogger, then you can vlog about your first experiences at those conventions. Plus, this is a great way to meet new people and expand your network.  In addition,  if you go to these larger conventions, there’s a great chance you might meet Japanese voice actors and creators that your small, local conventions will never have.

Trust me: You want that experience.

Income tax season come and goes.  You will only get that money once a year. Once it’s gone, it is gone.  Knowing that, you should be wise with it and spend it on things that will help you grow as an otaku.  Putting that money towards traveling or your anime YouTube channel is smart.  Blowing it on anime figurines that won’t bring you overall value is stupid.

Please don’t be stupid.
